The new Pentagon video

The surveillance camera pix were released by the Pentagon today were on
the conspiracy theory sites since they started, and won't do anything
to bed the theorists' apprehensions (not that I believe them).

Did anyone here see anything in those pix that was conclusively one way
or the other? I couldn't.

In the age of digital photography, and computer generated graphics, no
picture by itself can be believed. However, if eye witnesses back up the
picture then its accuracy becomes more reliable. Of course, a good paranoid
conspiracy believer will know that the eye witnesses are really part of the
clever diabolical plot by the government to hide the truth.

I have to agree, there is nothing that will convince the conspiracy
morons. All the going to court to have this video released was just a
wast of time and money.

I don't think so. There are other issues involved; for example, the
struggle between those that want to make everything a secret vs. those
that feel that information should be readily available if not to everyone,
then at least to appointed officials. I also don't quite understand the
Pentagon's publilcly stated reason for *not* releasing the various videos
of the incident.

The most odd bit about the conspiracy theorists is their utter failure
to explain what then happened to the 757 itself and/or where its
passengers were lost. That hole in their conjecture is bigger than that
in the Pentagon.

simple, the 757 itself is stored right next to the missile launcher(s)
that took down TWA800. No, wait. It's actually at AMARK.

The conspiracy theorists are mostly a bunch of Holocaust deniers,
terrorist sympathizers, Michael Moore freaks, and other nutcases.
Nothing will convince them. Heck, numerous videos showing planes flying
into the WTC have not convinced them that the towers were destroyed by
airplanes, not demolition explosives.

A lot of these guys think the real world works like Hollywood movies.
They expect to see an airplane silhouette in the wall of the Pentagon,
as if Wile E. Coyote had run through it. Next time someone tries to
justify Hollywood's continual refusal to recognize the laws of physics
by saying "It's only a movie" you might want to remember just how much
that idiocy influences these nutcases.

Good website link,
thanks.

I'm convinced that the Dukes of Hazard (the TV show, not the recent movie)
was directly responsible for the death of the woman who tried to jump the
gap in the Bay Bridge during the Loma Prieta Earthquake in 1989. In the TV
show the good-ol'-boy heros were always jumping the General Lee over stuff,
without any sign of a ramp. When the bridge in front of her collapsed, the
woman decided to try and jump the 50-foot gap rather than stop her car and
wait things out. A quick calculation indicates that she would have to have
been going roughly 236 mph to get to the other side with a 4" drop in
height, probably the maximum drop that would allow the car to survive. If
the car could survive hitting the other side 6" below the road surface, you
could make it at "only" 193 mph.

Don't believe the "science" in Hollywood.
